Abstract The objectives of this study were to compare oestrous synchronization expression and conception rate following timed artificial insemination (TAI) with frozen–thawed X‐sexed or unsexed semen in dairy and beef cows. For this study, 227 cows (dairy, n = 130 and beef, n = 97) were assigned to a 9‐day Ovsynch + controlled intravaginal drug release

Twin reduction in the late embryonic period prevents the condition of freemartin in dairy cattle
Abstract The condition of freemartinism occurs in the bovine heterosexual twin foetuses and refers to the resulting infertile female. Vascular anastomoses of the foetal membranes are the major reason of this anomaly. This study examines whether single born heifers following induced twin reduction at 28–34 days of pregnancy could develop normal ...

Abstract A 20‐month‐old Holstein heifer presented for evaluation of progressive hindlimb lameness that was localised to the left coxo‐femoral joint, with development of a fever, tachycardia and bruxism. Radiographs and ultrasound of the coxo‐femoral joint were relatively unremarkable. An echocardiogram showed a static left‐to‐right shunting ventricular

Freemartinism, a primary disorder of sex development (DSD) in cattle, is associated with leukocyte chimerism (60,XX/60,XY). The diagnosis of DSD is easy if it is known that a heifer with abnormally developed reproductive tracts originates from a ...

Multiple congenital malformation in a Simental female calf: a case report
Congenital anomalies in offspring of natural breedings are often a result of environmental factors, genetic factors, or both. A 21-day-old male Simental female calf was submitted to our clinic with abnormal severe green mucoid nasal discharge from both ...

Chromosome fragility in Freemartin cattle
The aim of the present study was to verify chromosome fragility in freemartin cattle using chromosome aberration (CA) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) tests. A total of eighteen co-twins were investigated. Fourteen animals were identified as cytogenetically chimeric (2n=60, XX/XY) while 4 were classified as normal.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect on pregnancy outcome of either inseminating heifers twice (at 48 and 72 hours after withdrawal of a controlled internal drug release insert (CIDR) containing progesterone) or once (56 hours after CIDR withdrawal) following a seven‐day CIDR synchronisation protocol.

Combined Bone Marrow and Kidney Transplantation for the Induction of Specific Tolerance
The induction of specific tolerance, in order to avoid the detrimental effects of lifelong systemic immunosuppressive therapy after organ transplantation, has been considered the “Holy Grail” of transplantation. Experimentally, tolerance has been achieved through clonal deletion, through costimulatory blockade, through the induction or infusion of ...
